Unit 5


Again, my frustrations are the same - I have a very difficult time listening to a guided meditation practice.  I would much rather get the instructions and put them into practice on my own terms.   Although I have to say the recording wasn’t as annoying this time.  I do try to find moments of peace throughout my day, even if it’s a few minutes in my car after work before I hit the road, I do know that this is important for my mental/emotional/spiritual health. 
Although these programs are good, I don’t think that it is a “one size fits all” program; every person is different and needs different things to help them calm their mind and find peace in a hectic world.  My connection is yoga, although I do try to find a bit of time each day, I’m not always successful, but when I go to yoga class, I am guaranteed 90 minutes of no chatter in my head and that time is priceless.  Since I started my yoga practice, I have definitely noticed a difference in how I process the stressful things that happed throughout my day, my outlook is much more positive, and when it does sink, it doesn’t stay down for long.
Thanks for reading :-)

  1. Hi Andie,

    Of course not, what may work for me, may not work for you. Everyone has their own way of releasing stress. My way is to turn up my gospel music and block everyone out, or I go to a quite place in the house and read my bible. It seems that my bible is the only think that gets me to that level that I need to be for that moment. I agree with you, this class has helped me out as well, although I don't no mediation, there are other methods that I used such as the previous two that were discussed. I have always wanted to try yoga, I heard it was great to do. I have enjoyed reading your post. Good luck
